Abstract :
A series of enroute ATC simulation experiments was conducted to estimate the airspace capacity of existing sectors in Japan and to evaluate a new route structure for accommodating the traffic increase in the future. A simulation method for capacity estimation and the results of the experiments focusing on the controller´s workload limit are presented. From the results of regression analysis, the relationship between the airspace capacity and the controller´s intervention in the traffic flow is discussed. About 40% increase of capacity is attained with an introduction of parallel routes and traffic flow management
